Troy woman's granddaughter performs at Disney World

A Troy woman's granddaughter recently had the honor of performing at Walt Disney World.

Emily Davies, a student at Issaquah High School in Washington, is the granddaughter of Judy Seeman of Troy. She was one of more than 800 high school cheerleaders and dancers from across the country that represented the camp brands of Varsity Spirit in the Varsity Spirit Spectacular at the Walt Disney World® Resort in Orlando, Florida from Nov. 21 to Nov. 24.

The individuals invited to perform are part of a select group of captains, co-captains, officers and seniors who attended a Varsity Spirit summer camp this summer hosted by Universal Cheerleaders Association (UCA), Universal Dance Association (UDA), National Cheerleaders Association (NCA), National Dance Alliance (NDA), United Spirit Association (USA) and Urban Cheerleading Experience (UCE).

Davies performed in an exclusive performance at Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park before hundreds of fans.

Besides enjoying an exciting trip to Orlando, performers had the opportunity to meet cheerleaders and dancers from across the nation, take part in an exclusive performance, and celebrate the holiday season in the magical setting of Walt Disney World. 

Davies is also an All-American dancer and team captain of the Issaquah Dance Team.

”Dance is getting to do something I love, while spreading holiday cheer,” Davies said.
